Fact is clubs from the west always get preferential treatment and benefit of doubt. If macdonald had played for us and elbowed one of them he would have been off no question. Don't talk pish. No one hates United, apart from United fans. McDonald's elbow looked intentional on TV replays but is the kind of thing that happens accidentally ten times in every game, so no blame on the officials not spotting it. Dow's challenge for their equaliser wasn't much of a foul but it was a game packed with 50-50 challenges, the decisions on which went for us as often as against us. And as already noted, Paton was very lucky to stay on the park. Ditto Morris. Ditto Anier. If anything, the ref did us a favour. Ach I suppose so it's just so bloody frustrating

I'm a bad dad. Also, Gunning = cnt. I hope when he finds himself on the Nat King in the summer he can't find another mug club and has to work in the sewers or equivalent unpleasant job. Cleaning old people's bums - that's what I wish for the horrible horrible cnt. I can see you repeating that when he scores the extra time play off winner v Hibs ( or Falkirk)

The enforced change of Gomis for Pearson settled them though and they took control from then on. Morgaro showed why we were nuts to let him go. Every loose ball ended up at his feet, with him in acres of space. His instinct in finding those little oases is uncanny. I feel for Dixon, who looked like he had a good game on the highlights. The reality was that he was woeful for the most part. Dow and Spittall tried hard but nothing really came off for them. Paton and Rankin were running the show for the first half-hour or so but were chasing shadows once our former charge entered the fray. Anier was good in parts and certainly willing. McKay was neither. The back three looked alternately solid and all at sea, though having Sromnik behind them can't have helped. That said, I thought the keeper did well, their first goal apart. The referee was okay, though how he managed to stop, check Donaldson and wave play on is beyond me. Usual from the fans: all energy and support when we're playing well and then quiet and fractious when the team needed them. Most depressing moment was the Motherwell Boys singing Beautiful Sunday and the United fans just glowered at them, unable to muster even the most basic response. Still, we're no worse off and everything could be different in a fortnight. It remains the case that if we're six points or less behind Killie at the split, we've got a chance. In short, keep the faith.

Motherwell were better at everything, from playing football to supporting their team and elbowing their opponents without being noticed. We got exactly what we deserved.

Hardly playing fair when you are talking about elbowing..

I've never entirely understood why taking someone out a yard from penalty area is a yellow at most, while a bit of handbags in the centre circle requires instant reds. The former is premeditated cheating whereas the latter's mostly just entertainment.

I actually thought Lasley should have been red carded for his cyncial lunge at Dow the other night, now you come to mention it. He tackled from behind with absolutely no chance of getting the ball. That's a sending off for excessive force use and recklessness , regardless of covering players or position on field.

That was the "professional foul" that the automatic red was supposed to eradicate.
